BLESSED----

I have been BLESSED to have support of wonderful friends. In posting yesterday, it helped me so much to see the bigger picture. I realize I make mistakes and that it's okay! I have a NEW favorite song that a dear friend shared with me today. She heard it and KNEW it was ME. She had me listen to the song. I started to CRY because I KNEW this is how I feel... it's as if the song captures my HEART.

Here is the lyrics:

Blessed lyrics by Martina McbrideJust soakin' up the day
I think to myself, I think to myself
This world is a beautiful place

I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

Across a crowded room
I know you know what I'm thinkin'
By the way I look at you
And when we're lying in the quiet
And no words have to be said
I think to myself, I think to myself
This love is a beautiful gift

I have been blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed

When I'm...
When I'm singing my kids to sleep
When I feel you holding me
I know

I am so blessed
And I feel like I've found my way
I thank God for all I've been given
At the end of every day
I have been blessed
With so much more than I deserve
To be here with the ones that love me
To love them so much it hurts
I have been blessed oh yes
i have been blessed, oh yeah yeah
(i have been blessed, i have been blessed
i have been blessed i have been blessed)

I hope you will take the time to go listen to the song- it's beautiful. I just feel so strongly that we cannot get these RARE and precious moments back. We need to live our life without regrets- I am missing my sons baseball tournament in a couple weeks because I will be in NYC with Gentry for her drill team. I have to accept that I am ONLY one person. One crazy busy mom- ha!

I am really happy today. I am working on a new collection that I have dreamed of doing. As I am seeing it come to life- well, it makes me THANKFUL to be able to do what I'm doing. I will say- this one is inspired by my boys- ZACH and Ty.... That is ALL the hints that I will give for now!!!!

I was sent a project by my friend Emma Trout. She lives in the UK and she is quite the talented girl....

She made these completely out of all my various lines. I see CRUSH, Documented, Transparencies, DAMASK, Family, etc. She is so cute!!!! Her blog is Emma Trout

I love the detail in her work!!!!

I have to say, that I really needed the blog comments and emails that I got about Gentry and piano. She actually read them with me. I gave it a lot of thought, and realized that I would let Gentry stop taking lessons after her last recital (May). It was on the condition that she has to still play and such, but she did not have to take the lessons. I know it was making her miserable and upset with me. I listened to the advice and also her piano teacher told Gentry just last week, that she was at a point where she can play anything that she gave her. She may need to practice it to get it perfect, but she was an advanced piano player. It breaks my heart, but I do see where it was causing so much grief in our home. I can't lie- it still makes me sad- but this is her life and she has played for eight years (even during the summer- they don't take the summer off from lessons). So I will cherish this last piano recital.
